Houses of the Week: Stirlingshire £535,000

Hopedale House is a Victorian mansion in Larbert that looks south over its own lawns. Arranged over two floors and an attic, it has five bedrooms and five public rooms. The attic was designed to be a billiard room and has fine views over the Ochills. Internally, many original features have been retained, including terrazzo floors, elaborate plasterwork and high-quality timber fittings. The staircase is particularly ornate and is illuminated by a stained-glass window and the entrance hall is half panelled. The house has been extensively modernised in recent times and stands in three-quarters of an acre. There is an enclosed garden to the rear and decking on one side.
